System for determining whether an individual suffers a fall requiring assistance

A system for detecting when a monitored individual within a dwelling has fallen, is about to fall or has otherwise indicated that he or she needs medical assistance, said system comprising:

• one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound sensors positioned such that the one or more sensors capture continuous video of a preconfigured area of a particular room wherein an individual is to be monitored;
• a computerized monitoring system in communication with said one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound sensors to receive the captured continuous video of the preconfigured area for analysis by the computerized monitoring system, said computerized monitoring system programmed to recognize skeletal points on a body of the monitored individual in order to identify and track movement by the monitored individual in the continuous video received from the 3D Camera, Motion and Sound sensors;
• a centralized monitoring station in communication with the computerized monitoring system and the one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound Sensors, said centralized monitoring station receiving the captured video from the one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound sensors;
• and
• a centralized monitoring primary display in communication with the centralized monitoring station for displaying the captured video received by the centralized monitoring station.

• a computerized communication system in communication with the computerized monitoring system, said computerized communication system programmed to facilitate communication with the monitored individual or a caregiver or designated person when the computerized monitoring system determines that the monitored individual has fallen, is about to fall or has gestured for assistance based on video received from the one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound sensors;
• a centralized monitoring station in communication with the computerized monitoring system and the one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound Sensors, said centralized monitoring station receiving the captured video from the one or more 3D Camera, Motion and Sound sensors;
